[QUOTE="User 67, post: 9901, member: 67"][IMG]https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/chorus-girls-and-man-crop-jpg.2142/[/IMG] My first thought was that he looked like a Nelson Eddy imitator. He has the hair for it. [IMG]https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/nelson_eddy-jpg.2285/?temp_hash=193be51d4606c76c9a1cdeede6bdcf60[/IMG] But he also has an uncanny resemblance to the hoofer Donald O Conner. [IMG]https://www.antiquers.com/attachments/donald-oconnor-1946-jpg.2284/?temp_hash=193be51d4606c76c9a1cdeede6bdcf60[/IMG] This photo is taken in 1946, However, and the op photo looks to be mid to late 1930s. I also agree that it could be Van Johnson, but not from "Too Many Girls"..., he was a chorus boy in a football uniform. But he was also an understudy to the three male leads. It could be him in "New Faces of 1936", which there are no photos of him in nor mention of what his part was in the production. Does this photo presage his coming out? If it was him in this production the photo would be a one off and valuable to the collector. I'd look for the Pres. of the Van Johnson fan club.[/QUOTE]
